Millimeter Wave Cloud Radar (MMCR), filtered spectral data, general mode

The sgpmmcrspeccmaskgeC1.a0 datastream contains filtered spectral data from the Millimeter Wave Cloud Radar (MMCR) in general mode, including measurements of radar reflectivity. The MMCR is a zenith-pointing radar that operates at a frequency of 35 GHz to probe the extent and composition of clouds at millimeter wavelengths, determine cloud boundaries, and report radar reflectivity of the atmosphere up to 20 km. The data were collected for Facility C1 (Central Facility, Lamont, OK), which is at the SGP site (Southern Great Plains) between October 1, 2007 and January 4, 2011.
